*Please note that our delivery service is uninsured above £50 and not trackable or traceable other than when the delivery is signed for. All goods are quality control inspected prior to leaving our premises and are in perfect condition. However, it is at the risk of the purchaser that the goods arrive in the same condition they left our laboratory. We strongly advise special delivery for all items over the value of £50 just for peace of mind. We cannot accept any responsibility for lost or damaged goods. Though the recorded delivery service is generally very reliable and used by most suppliers on the internet, if you do have a problem, using the Special Delivery service will allow you to claim back from the Royal Mail the value of goods up to £500.
